"He did what," Cody seethed as he watched the holo of Rex forgetting his composure immediately.

Rex hesitated lightly glancing at Kenobi briefly. Cody usually kept a level head when they were on coms or around the jedi, but this was Fives they were talking about. Swallowing tightly Rex squared his shoulders and continued on.

"Sir, Krell is hiding something. He has not once fought along side us. Our casualties are extremely high and taking the capital seems nearly impossible. My ARC trooper is never this… afraid. Krell is not what he seems," Rex finalized glancing between the two before taking a quick glance around his area making sure Krell was no where to be seen.

Kenobi was silent as he digested the information he was given. When he was given the information on the chips he was both horrified and not surprised. With Krell… it was the same. Krell was known for his high casualties, but this was different.

"I'll see what I can do to get the council a real jedi to you. In the meantime I'm sending Cody down with a group of our troops to contain him. Do try to do so without confrontation, Captain. I can not even begin to imagine what would happen should a fight break out," Kenobi spoke raising a hand to his beard contemplating.

This war was going to hell.

"ARC-5555 I want you to disarm each of these fighters. We can not have the enemy being able to use them should they escape from our hold," Krell spoke clearly over the group of clones in the hangar.

Fives was tense. Badly tense. He had been trying to figure out how the Umbaran Fighters worked along side another squad. Krell had cone down here for no reason, but to show that he was in charge now. Fives knew that, but the flashes of what had happened in the command room kept him from saying other wise. It kept him from telling the shabuir that his name was Fives. Kept him from being rebellious. Kept him from doing anything he normally would have done.

"Yes, sir," Fives said plainly his voice foreign in his ears even to himself.

The squad around him glanced at each other clearly alarmed at the reaction. Even Dogma and Tup were hyper-aware. Everyone knew that Fives was the rebellious type and that he would stand up for himself. Seeing him do the exact opposite told the other clones that this jedi was not one to be messed with. That this jedi was no jedi after all.

Krell grinned and nodded before walking away with a smirk on his face. His plan was going perfectly. Well at least that's what he thought. However, he pissed off the wrong captain by messing with the wrong ARC.

"Sir, you alright," Dogma asked glancing at Fives.

He had told the ARC that Krell wanted to see him not too long ago, and Fives was perfectly fine then. After meeting with Krell, Fives was distant and very quiet. It wasn't like the ARC.

"I don't want anyone going near him alone. You understand me? If he calls anyone to meet him. I want you to take a friend and I do not care if he orders you to leave. No one is to be near hime alone. Understood," Fives spoke up looking over at the squad around him meeting Dogma's gaze.

Dogma was loyal. Very loyal. He followed the rules, yes, but he was loyal to the republic. If he was given an order he would follow it. Fives planned to make sure that Dogma wouldn't be sent back to Kamino. No one was going back to Kamino for this.

Horror flicked across Dogma's eyes at the order, but he didn't dare ask for confirmation on his thoughts. He was smart. He understood why Fives was giving this order.

"Yes sir," Dogma nodded quietly his hand reaching out for Tup unconsciously.

Fives got back to work with a simple nod. Not daring to explain anything.

When the 212th landed Krell was highly suspicious. For one the commander of the 212th ignored him and went straight to the captain. ARC-5555 seemed alarmed that the 212th were here, but didn't say a word. Krell went over multiple reasons as to why the 212th would be here, and none of them were good for his plan. The commander then addressed him finally. They were reinforcements. Supposedly.

Krell greeted them normally and acted as if everything was peachy. CC-2224 didn't buy it though. That much was obvious, and CT-7567 seemed a little too relieved for his liking. No someone had contacted Kenobi and asked for help. Someone had told them that he wasn't what he seemed. Someone who knew that. Someone who had evidence. The ARC. The ARC or the captain.

"Cody what are you doing here," Fives asked once Krell had left the area.

Cody glanced at the ARC briefly before turning to Rex and asking a silent question with the tilt of his head. Rex answered with the shake of his head. Fives glanced between the two trying to decipher what was just said.

"We're your reinforcements. I would have just sent Waxer, but General Kenobi didn't need me for piloting," Cody answered Fives finally leaving out a few details.

Fives was silent as he looked between the two not liking the vague answer. Sighing the ARC gave a nod and a light smile.

"It's good to have you with us, sir. Try not piss the General off though. I like my lungs where they are," Fives joked lightly the smile on his lips not reaching his eyes.

"So do I," Rex replied turning his head to Cody a light warning in his voice that only Cody could hear.

"Don't worry. I'll turn down my sass meter," Cody nodded keeping a straight face as if the sass meter wasn't a joke.

"Sass meter! You have a sass meter," Fives asked laughter in his voice.

"Don't you laugh at me. I can and will kick your shebs," Cody snarked as Fives snickered.

"Sure you will."

"Did you or did you not call the 212th to save you! And don't lie to me ARC-5555," Krell snarled in Fives' face keeping him suspended in the air against the wall.

"P-piss off," Fives snapped back one hand clawing at his throat and the other on the wall behind him.

"Yes I am very pissed. Do you know why clone? It's because you think you can outsmart me. Well you're wrong. I am going to rip your mind apart slowly, and no 212th trooper can save you from that," Krell snarled tightening his grip on Fives' throat through the force before dropping him to the floor.

"T-tra-traitor," Fives coughed out once he got air back in to his lungs.

Krell laughed not answering to the word before Fives passed out.
